Rats....

when we were in Taipei earlier this year, we bought a battery operated rat at one of the night markets for Slurpie. Didn't they say schnauzers were bred as rat catchers initially? He was amused and really curious when we set it up, he trailed the rat and watched it carefully. Ready to run initially when the rat turned towards him.

the rat cost us less than $5 but it could turn corners and thus it would never get stuck but keep going so long it is not overturned. Slowly Slurpie had enough of this white furry running about and went up to check it out.

he used his paws to tap it and then turned and run. haha it was hilarious. now we on it to teased him occassionally. Quite stimulating for him i think. =)

Daddy's Home

Slurpie always perks his ears up and stop in mid-act and run to the door sniffing at the gap when he hears our car turning into the driveway. Initially i was puzzled but now whenever he does that i know it means Slurp-pa is home.

He would then run out to the lift and wait.....presenting my personal radar:

waiting waiting patiently for he knows daddy will appear soon.

Wipe Your Paws

We walk Slurpie twice a day unless it is raining. And after the walks, the moment he enters the house, he knows he has to "down" and wait till we wipe his paws with a damp cloth. We are considering getting him boots so he can walk when the ground is wet too. Ya he is a dog some would say and its ok for him to get his paws wet. We typically frown on human items on dogs but the boots would be really practical as wet fur means tangles and with his long fur on the legs its really a pain in a @** to comb.

Still looking for a easy to wear pair that is not more expensive than my Heatwave heels!

New house for Slurpie

haha like real....not that we do not want to but we do not have a garden....ahem (what a good excuse). Reminds me of the chinese saying "same black dog but different lives"

maybe we can start we something smaller like this
but then again Slurpie never likes to stay in his kennel or even on the bed. his fav spot is under the sofa. ya lucky us, we have a low maintenance poochie. Perhaps we can look into a indoor garden for him? Mock grass carpet tiles.....hmmmm i like.

Tadah Groomed!

Slurpie Turns 1

My Christmas Eve Baby - Slurpie is 1!

to celebrate his 1st birthday on 24th Dec 2008 we went to cold storage today and bought a premium slab of beef sirloin. I seared it slightly in olive oil and his sides are boiled sweet potato and veggie (capsicum and broccoli). Look at his wistful face as he awaits the command to start his feast!



And this is him getting all buddy buddy with his ah gu birthday present

Doggie Crane

This is our new devise that can pick up objects safely and securely......introducing the doggie crane system:

Fridge Raider

No matter where Slurpie is in the house, underneath the sofa, in the room or out at the balcony and no matter what he is doing, sleeping, chewing his toys or peeing even, he is always by the fridge within seconds when it is opened. He knows his favorite apples are in there! Fridge = Food. His theory is to Sha Chuo Bu Fang Guo I think cos we really do not feed him from the fridge but somehow he notices that his food are stored there maybe!
